    Sorry we're closedNo commentary from me for once. Just going to post the PR.

    BOXER SUSHI ANNOUNCES CLOSURE WITH THE DEPARTURE OF CHEF IAN SKOMSKI

    Restaurant to close September 21

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Co-owners and founders Katie Poppe and Micah Camden will shutter the doors of Boxer Sushi on Sunday, September 21. The decision was made following the announcement of the departure of Chef Ian Skomski who is relocating to Bend to spend more time with his family. “We are sad to announce the closure of Boxer Sushi, designed as an artistic platform for our dear friend and master sushi chef, Ian Skomski,” said co-owner and founder Poppe. “The past two years have been a remarkable culinary treasure, and we are so incredibly proud of him. We wish Ian the best of luck, Portland has some big shoes to fill.”

    The high-quality sushi and sashimi restaurant was opened in 2012 with a focus on fresh ingredients and traditional preparation style where diners can feast on the Omakase chef’s menu. Skomski attended a sushi academy and a sushi institute in Los Angeles. He was the head chef at Yakuza, Camden’s first restaurant in Portland, for two years.

      Wow. It’s been a wonderful couple of years. I have an incredible group of good memories thanks to Ian, Brian, Patrick, and Britt.

      Seriously, it feels like a death. I wish Ian the best, but I’m disappointed it couldn’t go on without him.

      Boxer Sushi and staff will truly be missed. We have so many great memories of the best omakase in town. I agree with the one commenter that it feels like a death. We will miss you all very much and wish you the best on your next journey. xoxo
